Rylan pt. 1
"Hey..." my roommate Lyndsey walks into my room as I'm buried deep in blankets. She shuts the door and leans against it "are you sure you don't want to come down?"
"I'm not in the mood for poker night Lynds but you guys have fun"
Walking over she climbs in my bed "I have something to tell you but you can't get mad" nothing else can ruin an already ruined mood
"What?"
"I invited Rylan" she smiles nervously "Why?! Why would you do that!"
"Because Keegan! You've been moping around here all week feeling sorry for yourself and I couldn't
handle it anymore"
"So you come up with the elaborate scheme to host a fake poker night at our apartment just so you can invite Rylan? Are you trying to spite me or something?"
"No Keegan! I'm trying to get you two to talk! He misses you and he says you won't even give him the time of day"
I made the mistake of falling for a straight guy, don't believe the stories, straight guys are a trap because all they do is fuck with your emotions then have sex with their ex girlfriends, then deem it a mistake because they had a moment of confusing. I am not confused, I know I fell in love with him. I tried so hard to convince myself that him saying I'm the only person he wants meant something. "Rylan doesn't know what he wants Lyndsey, and I'm tired of hearing I'm sorry every time something happens between us and he runs to his ex"
"He's a guy Kee they don't know any better, just talk to him please" "No! Get him out of this house"
She gets out of my bed "ok fine, but I think you at least owe it to yourself to hear him out, then if
you still feel the same way I'll tell him to get the hell out and we'll get him out of our lives. You and I both know how much you feel for him Keegan, ignoring him is hurting him but it's hurting you even more"
I sigh "what if I forgive him Lyndsey? My fear is that I forgive him and we're stuck in a loop of him not knowing what he wants, and me the dumbass who sits here and waits for him to come back to me after fucking his ex girlfriend"
"What he did was shitty don't get me wrong, and I hate him with the burning passion of a thousand suns for hurting my best friend, but I spent my entire afternoon listening to how much he misses and needs you. He convinced me Kee! And I'm not easy to convince" yes she is.
"I don't want to see him"
"Please just this once for me? He can come up here you guys can talk then whatever happens after that happens"
Burying my head in my palms "fine" I whisper. I hear Lyndsey laugh then rush out of my room. Sitting up I quickly fix my hair and check my breath. Be strong Keegan! You do not need that drama in your
life! Don't fall for- Rylan lightly knocks on the door, I'm fucked. Taking a deep breath and relaxing myself I reply "come in."
Rylan walks into my room as tall as I remembered, still wearing the same red hat to hide his beautiful blond hair. He stands far away but since the moment he's walked in
